No you don't have to, but if your spouse works it is to your advantage to file jointly. Also, these government pay backs only go to tax payers so I would wait until the country is back on its feet

Possibly.

See Tables 1, 2, and 3 on pages 2, 3, and 4 of Publication 501 to determine if you are required to file a federal return:

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf

Check your state income tax return instructions or your state tax agency to see if you are required to file a state return.

Of course, if you had taxes withheld and are owed a refund, you should file in order to receive the refund even if you are not required to file.
Yes, I certainly do.

When you have other types of worldwide gross income and tax exempt interest and tax exempt dividends YES it is very possible that from 50 % to 85 % of your SSB can become taxable income on your 1040 federal income tax return.

Generally, if Social Security benefits were your only income, your SSB benefits are not taxable and you probably do not need to file a federal income tax return.

If you have any other sources of worldwide income and (tax exempt interest and exempt dividends) then it is possible for some of your SSB to become taxable income on your income tax return and then you would be required to file an income tax return.

Yes this is possible BUT. IF you do NOT have any other sources of worldwide gross income that you would have to report on your 1040 federal income tax return the answer is NO.

For additional information on the taxability of Social Security benefits, Go to the IRS gov website and use the search box for IRS Publication 915, Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits.
